Behavior Problems in Childhood and Adolescence

If your child's or teen's behavior is out of control, we can help. Our child and teen therapists use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), parent education, and other psychotherapy methods to help kids and teens with behavioral issues. Our child counselors in Cary NC start with a detailed assessment of the problem to formulate a treatment plan as well as to identify any underlying causes of the behavior, such as anxiety, depression, or social problems.

If your child needs an assessment first to determine whether a mental disorder is causing or contributing to the problem, our child psychologist can help. We diagnose and treat Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, and other emotional-behavioral disorders. Other problems, such as anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, and trauma can also contribute to behavioral problems.
